already started, I know a few City fans that are saying he would not get near their first team.
It's all a bit 'meh' listening to other fans and managers isn't it? feck em' he will be great for us and a step in the right direction.
 
Mata could easily become my favourite United player from the off. He's a dream to watch, and his personality is sublime.

We finally have a Spanish playmaker. Hallelujah!
 
This is going to sound silly, but... Something annoys me about this transfer, mainly that if we had 37m to spend on one player, why oh why did we only offer 26 for fabregas?

  • Is the 26 figure bull?
  • Arrogance on our part?
  • Have more funds been made available due panic?
  • Could it be we only had 26 for fab because we had 80 set aside for bale and were too confident in that one working?
Or we cocked that up but we've learnt our lesson.

They still fear us, that's why. We're a bit of a sleeping giant at the moment. When United wakes up things are going to get ugly for everyone else.
 
Premier League (only) 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 combined: Silva 23 assists, Mata 30. (10, 18 goals respectively).

Meh. Silva is still better, even if he couldn't quite be arsed enough last season.
 
Mata>Ozil

In big games.

But most importantly

Mata>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Valencia or Young

Respect your opinion even though it's ungrounded. If Ozil is one level above Mata then he's the best in the world apart from Ronaldo and Messi, which he isn't. Mata shits on Ozil in big games as well. Similar quality of those two and if one is better than another, it's definitely not by a 'level'.
 
Mata a level below? Are you crazy?

No. Mata hasn't hit the same heights Silva has. Anyone non-chelsea, and now also united, would choose Silva for their team ahead of Mata. Damn quick the overrating has begun.
 
Silva is of similar level to Ozil.

Mata just a level below. And Cazorla a level below still.

Please....If you lot had bought him, you'd be shouting from the roof tops, about how you now possess two of the greatest players in the world.

My Pool supporting mate tried to argue with me that we have paid over the odds for a player who wouldn't get into any of the top teams in England or Spain....fecking laughable at times
 
I agree Silva is probably a better player than Mata as it stands but you could argue that Silva hasn't hit the same heights that Mata has in Europe.
 
In theory Mata should put goals on a plate for RvP, at Chelsea he had knobends Torres and Ba blazing everything over. If we use him correctly he should be getting 20-30 assists a season again with us.

Sure. He's one of the best in the league. There are still players I'd pick over him. Like Silva.

That will never happen. How many times has a player gotten over 20 assists?

Actually what has begun is sudden underrating of Mata from non-United fans (see in this very thread). And your claim about anyone outside United and Chelsea picking Silva over Mata is laughable.
